exporting frame by frame at DVinfo.net

Herman Chen · August 12th, 2006, 09:48 PM

hi,

I have a clip that's a good length, but I want to export each and every single frame of that clip without having to do it one by one (that would take a very long time). Is there a way to do this? And is there a way to put it back together without dragging the frames one by one back to the timeline?

Thanks

You can export to a Photoshop filmstrip, that might help you accomplish whatever you want to do. Just go to export, and instead of DV AVI, switch it to Photoshop filmstrip.

Exporting as a targa (*.tga) sequence is also possible. This will export each frame as a different still image into a folder.

What do you plan to do if the still images?

basically I'm going to record a series of actions and batch the files and do it to all the frames in photoshop

Chis' photoshop filmstrip is probably the best then, I have found you need quite a decent machine to handle the processing.

Cheers,

okay, I managed to tackle that problem. I also finished working with the individual frames. Now is there a quick way to IMPORT each and every single frame into a timeline so that each frame takes up a time interval of "one frame" (at 30fps) without having to adjust the speed/duration or anything else?

If you know how to do this, please let me know. I don't want to have to do each and every single frame one by one.

Thanks,
